Prudent to have statue moved (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

astute

'prudent' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'statue moved' is the wordplay.
'moved' indicates an anagram.
'statue' anagrammed gives 'ASTUTE'.

'to have' is the link.

(Other definitions for astute that I've seen before include "Able to assess (people or situations) accurately" , "Shrewd, quick to spot advantage" , "on the ball" , "Clever and canny" , "Statue (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
